Why We Love It
If you are ready to go on a true adventure fishing for peacock bass this is the trip for you! Peacock bass are very aggressive and will attack anything that invades their territory making it an exciting “FISH ON” experience.
When I hear “The Amazon” it conjures up all kinds of exotic feelings in my mind. Rightfully so, the topic of many books and movies this mysterious place has a huge variety of plants and animals. Named by the Spanish after the women warriors they encountered on the river, the Amazon is a unique place to fish and visit.

Fish Species
Peacock bass fishing runs from early August through early February. There is no “perfect” time to fish as peacock bass are in the River this entire period. River fishing depends upon the complex eco system which includes large rains over thousands of square miles. As waters recede at the start of the dry season, the bass come downstream and after a few weeks of feeding, start to spawn. Fishing is best during this period which occurs at different times in places on the river. The yacht will move each day to the best fishing area.
The Rio Solimoes flows into Manaus where it meets the Rio Negro to form the Amazon river. The rivers of Brazil are different in each area. Your guides and yacht captain will take you to the best spots for fishing at the time you are there.

The Santana I has eight air conditioned suites with private en-suite showers. There are two master suites (king beds) and six double occupancy suites (one double and one single bed).
